A strip of a multi-axially stretchable blend film (20) is disclosed for use on an inner surface of a tire. The strip has a thickness in a range of from 0.05 mm to 0.510 mm and a weight in the range of from 50 g/m 2 to 400 g/m 2 , wherein the strip is formable in a temperature range of from 120°C to 200°C without tearing and fusing to itself if a pressure sensitive adhesive is placed at an interface, and wherein the strip is non-elastomeric in a sense of not returning to its original length when stretched more than 50 percent of its original length at 23°C. Also, a tire is disclosed comprising a barrier film which is positioned about the longitudinal axis of the carcass, and wherein the barrier film is a blend film (20). Finally, a method of balancing a tire or of providing a tire having a release coating-free inner surface is described. |
